I hope everybody had a good holiday! I hope that you got what you wanted for Christmas! We had the best time at my house Christmas eve. If was the first year that the adults got more presents than the kids. Most of the now adults where just kids a few years ago and they now have kids of their own. How time does fly! We had a big time with turkey, ham, shrimp, mashed "taters", my own homemade yeast rolls and home made fudge!
So heres to a great new year from me my grandbaby Parker and my wonderful hubby Marshall!
Thanksgving is one of my favorite holidays, and its not just because of the good food. My whole family gets together and eats. I have 4 sisters and 1 brother and i also have a brother who passed away. My sisters and I all get together and start cooking early in the morning. We have such a good time listening to Jimmy Buffett and cooking. Its a great time that I get to spend with my family. I also thought I would share a few pics of our party so you can see the fun we have and the good food!
Those are chocolate pies that I cooked lol
This is me 2 of my sisters my Son Steve and his wife...
